Could you please tell us the status of your Akashic Records translation project? It’s true that various other groups have taken over for the other volumes at various times (first Noblesse Oblige, and then Transmythicalation), but since you’re the only one who’s touched the volumes covered by the anime (V1-V5), it would be nice to know if you still intend to finish up.

To clarify, I’m not angry, and I know translators can run out of time/interest for a particular translation for various reasons (copyrights, preferences, personal matters…). Besides, I’m currently learning Japanese myself, and I know it’s not always clear how to translate things into English because the two languages are so different. I’m just asking out of curiosity because I enjoy the series. Whatever the reason, I hope you’ll be able to tell us and that things are going well for you overall!

Bro, he/they are doing this for us. Could you adopt a more respectful tone on your sentences? I get what you mean but honestly, as a reader, we should just wait to be fed with updates. We should not complain even the slightest regardless if the translator either continue or drop their projects.

a.) He’s doing this for free out of his own spare time, stop complaining. Be appreciative. b.) Yes it kind of sucks one volume is missing, but other than that Huap did 5-6 and some of 7 and transmythicalation is following up Huap after he left due to irl stuff. c.) There’s manga and the anime so….

Gosh, i really hate this kind of people. Just let’s be clear, he doing this for free, and you can read it for free. So, if he doesn’t feel like to translating this light novel yet, just accept it. he has no obligation to continuing this project whatsoever, and you all have no rights to demand him. If you all so desperate, just learn some Japanese, and buy the official one, this way you can support the author too.
